Katie really wanted out if all she wanted was custody and child support

Katie must have been desperate to get out as fast as she could. Her life must have been hell and she must have been super concerned about Suri’s immediate future if she was willing to forego a large yearly settlement. Judging by what both Conor and Bella are up to these days, Katie made the right choice. Good parents don’t encourage their 17 year olds to hang in London nightclubs or live in seedy parts on LA.

Nobody really knows what the settlement is. It’s sealed. A random source doesn’t know anything. The prenup is what it is. Tom no doubt made sure Katie wasn’t getting a lot of his money.

what she got was plenty. And you can be sure she’ll use the child support for her own needs under the guise it’s for Suri.
Hey, she’s got alot more money than most women who get a divorce get from their divorcing husbands.

Just My Opinion

Surely Katie got payments DURING the marriage contract and realized her career was NOT going the way she thought. Cruise will keep a link to Suri for photo ops until Suri and Katie slowly fade into the background. I think this marriage was a publicity stunt and Suri became a surpise hit for Cruise and Scientology and he probably wanted to continue with this sham marriage a few more years and make Suri some kind of Scientology poster child but Katie knew Suri was getting to an age where Suri’s education and her faith about God was going to matter. And I also think Suri needs some kind of therapy of medication for a light disability that she may have and Katie knew she had to get out of this marriage to help Suri. But I have always thought for Katie who was raised as a Catholic was DARING to get involved with Cruise knowing he was a die hard Scientology from the beginning. She is lucky (so far) she got out as fast as it seems. They hooked up in 2005 and the Internet has been mainstream since 1996 so its not like Katie didn’t know about his beliefs. I think the public overall has moved on from these two. They didn’t “buy into this sham” but they did find Suri interesting when she was younger. The question regarding “Who’s Suri’s real father?” never ended and Cruise’s sexuality was always in question. Good luck to all of them. In Hollywood its all about image, beauty, talent, marketing and entertaining the masses. Good luck to Suri. She didn’t have a choice when her mother signed her up to this agreement. Time to move on.

Just My Opinion

As far as this divorce settlement, and what ever else she got privately $$$, it is more than Katie made pre Cruise marriage/arrangement. How do I know? You can go to IMDA or whatever that link is to movies and it gives you the actors salaries. There is no doubt Katie experienced a lot of luxurious living, shopping, saw the world while she was married, and met a lot of famous and wealthy people (including Victoria Beckman who seems to have given her the cold shoulder). Surely Katie was daring enough to try Scientology as she told Billy Bush in Access Hollywood she had taken classes and it was helping her, etc., so she tried the purfication run down, the auditing, probably resounced God and her prior beliefs to satisy the people in Scientology and Cruise. There were so many times we all saw Katie photographed looking nice, run down, sloppy, sad, etc., like a yo yo probably fighting her beliefs and now she looks very casual and run down. Even a low income person combs their hair which is something I find ODD about Katie that she is photographed with her hair deshelved and sloppy and she doesn’t seem to care. Taking care of Suri and working on her career is new to Katie and a lot to handle. Good luck to them.

Just My Opinion

I think Suri is a handful for Katie to take care of on her own without a staff (nanny, housekeeper, etc.) These days Katie looks casual and at
times sloppy. I think this is the real Katie. This is how she looked pre Cruise, she’s a jeans girl at heart only now she’s got a six year old to look after who possibly has autism or some type of disability that Katie is trying to get treatment for. Bet the gymnastics and art classes help Suri relax. This is of course just my opinion but I think most posters who’ve seen Suri grow up in pictures that last 5 years agree about the odd behavior of not wearing coats or warm clothing during cold weather or sensitivity issues (noise, weather, the stimming of her hands), etc. Good luck to Suri. If the reports are true of the child support payments of $33,333 per month for the next 12 years plus other expenses Suri will be able to get the treatment she may need and Katie can live on that and not worry about immediate expenses. I read Morton’s biography on Tom Cruise and he wrote when Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise divorced, Cruise left her life and it felt like when the circus leaves town and you are left behind. That’s how Katie and Suri look these days. The bodyguards, nannies, housekeepers, staff, heliocopter rides, SUVs on hand, helpers, etc. all left their life for them to fend for themselves like the rest of the mortals. It must feel liberating but also strange after 6-7 years of being catered to.

Tom Cruse is not tight with his money Katie knows this… she has her own clothing line thanks to Tom. Tom might not pay the maximum but tom will pay ANYWAY he’s Tom Cruise nobody has ever said this man was cheap. and i’m sure when it’s comes to suri money is no object. thats’ his little girl. …….Tom shut down an amusement park so connor & isabelle could play for a few hrs once when Tom shopped with Katie Tom shut down the entire store so they both could shop in privacy that’s how much money Tom has what ever the amount should be Tom will pay more because he can & will Katie knows this…..Katie is a lucky woman.
